Leukocyte - Endothelia 1 Adhesion Molecules
I N 1985, a review article appeared in this journal that examined the interactions of leukocytes with vascular endothelium during an immune or inflammatory response.’ The basic physiology of leukocyte emigration as well as disease states in which alterations of leukocyte-endothelial interactions may contribute to pathology were discussed. Since then there has been an explosion of interest in th...
متن کاملLeukocyte Adhesion Molecules in Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetes is a systemic disease that causes a number of metabolic and physiologic abnormalities. One of the major microvascular complications of diabetes is diabetic retinopathy (DR), a leading cause of blindness in people over age 50. The mechanisms underlying the development of DR are not fully understood; however, extensive studies have recently implicated chronic, low-grade inflammation in t...
متن کاملLeukocyte adhesion molecules in animal models of inflammatory bowel disease.
The dysregulated recruitment of leukocytes into the intestine is required for the initiation and maintenance of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Several families of molecules regulate the influx of these cells into sites of inflammation. Interference with some of these molecules has already shown efficacy in the clinics and antibodies that target the molecules involved have been approved by th...
متن کاملRole of nitric oxide in poly(I-C)-induced endothelial cell expression of leukocyte adhesion molecules.
Polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid [poly(I-C)] is a synthetic double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) that simulates a viral-infected state in cells. It has been shown that viral infection, as well as poly(I-C), stimulates leukocyte adhesion to endothelial cell (EC) monolayers and that this is mediated through the surface expression of the adhesion molecules E-selectin, vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM...
متن کاملPentoxifylline Decreases Serum Level of Adhesion Molecules in Atherosclerosis Patients
Background: Inflammation is involved in development, progression, and complications of atherosclerotic disease. Clinical studies have indicated that the level of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), IL-18, and adhesion molecules correlates with the severity of atherosclerosis and can predict future cardiovascular events. Experimental studies have shown pentoxifylline (PTX) reduces these ...
